scentuous, etc.

This was suggested by Peter’ recent report of lustuous(/lustious) . There are plenty of misspellings of sensuous, and some of them may well have eggcornish possibilities. Blending or other kinds of influential interaction with sumptuous, luscious, sinuous and less-reputable words like licentious or even incestuous is likely going on, as well as brute misspelling. Scent is naturally part of the picture as well (besides, of course, the senses). Perhaps sent (over the edge) = drive you crazy , who knows what else.

Many for scentuous and most of it likely wordplay. Apparently the name was chosen for a scented camellia and a gum tree as well as lots of boutiques, shops, etc.:

While ‘Scentuous’, ‘Cinnamon Scentsation’, ‘Spring Mist’, ‘High Fragrance’ and ‘Fragrant Pink’ are quite susceptible hybrids, the hybrid ‘Quintessence’ is only moderately susceptible and hybrids ‘Minato-no-akebono’, ‘Minato-no-haru’ and ‘Koto no Kaori’ have low susceptibility.

One of these new varieties of Dwarf Lemon Scented gum is called ‘Scentuous’ and this only grows 6 to 7 meters tall. It has beautiful fine hanging foliage with a lovely sharp crisp lemon fragrance and it’s absolutely fabulous. It’s a Eucalyptus you can grow in your garden with confidence
